Please comment on these tool chests ?

2 chests here, as I can pick them up. My location dictates that paying shipping blows the price out the water !! Not looking for snap on quality, chest will never leave garage, basically just a "tidier upper" with ability to roll to workbench. Can't decide between these 2. At present 15% off Clarke making it £107. Halfords £99

I don't think there is much difference in them they both look decent . I suppose you could pop into a local Halfords to have a better look at one

I have a couple of Halford cabinet/drawers for a few years but they are the Professional one,s and have had no complaints with them.

Hi

I've seen quite a lot of the Clarke boxes in use as 'second' boxes in a professional environment - don't think I've ever seen a Halfords one, so based on that I'd go Clarke if you can't get to see them both first hand.

Regards Mick

+1 with the Clarke unit - The wheels are next to useless and badly positioned almost making the unit unstable.

If you need to maximise your journey, I'd move up a notch and stretch the budget if you can - the Halfords pro range is actually not bad.

I have this Halford's tool chest and it is very good, one of the only storage units that's big enough for all my standard tools including my No 7.
